Shattered Light

Fragmented pieces laying everywhere,
Splintering the darkness,
Prismatic emotions slivered
Becoming colored beams of artistry.

Purity taken to basic forms,
Normally vibrant hues
Are swallowed by shadows,
Darkened by murky obscurity
Like a breath that is stolen.

For Light fell against the unmovable,

Shattering.....

The impurities spilled out,
Shortened wavelengths of commonality,
Frayed, impure beauty
Now unable to become whole.

the only

the only reason i give this four stars is that you suceeded in bringing your emotion out so clearly. i hope that dragging it out in the daylight made it too weak to do any more damage. wish i had been there to help finish it off. keep on keeping on, gee

Actually....

This is an older poem - I wrote this one about 4 or 5 years ago. ;-) This poem was actually inspired by a friend's email address which contained the phrase "shattered light" in the beginning of it. I liked the phrase so much that I wrote a poem to go along with it. ;-)
